What would you like to tell current Bryan Collegiate students?
My advice is to GO to class! Showing up is half the battle, and remember that the upcoming Geometry test, English test, Geology homework etc. is only a stepping stone for what lies ahead, so échale ganas (make an effort). If you do not understand a topic, or subject, raise your hand, or go to after hours and get the help you need. Especially for the college classes, some professors take your effort into consideration when grading. Last but not least, if it feels like “it” is easy, then challenge yourself by turning “it” up a level. You will surprise yourself, and you might find your passion in doing so.
